I can't comment on the 6 cyl Chev, but my 5.7, V-8 has just turned 540,000 miles and is still running great. My next van will be a Chev or GMC. Had two ford diesels that ran great but expensively. The transmissions gave me so much grief, I switched to the Chev and have been a happy and...

"If you simply waddle into an office or trade show booth unprepared and say "tell me about this expediting thing" you will get general answers at best" I trust we do better than that at the EO booth at the Mid America Truck Show at Louisville. Terry

Robert Benchley and Greg said that.

No Logs.....unless you are totin' placarded amounts of HazMat, and you have a CDL Hazmat endorsement

Since you ask. I am a single van owner operator and have no experience operating an armada of vans, nor hands-on experience with PantherII operations; those are my qualification to comment on Steve's post, but I'll do so anyway. I believe at the level you you are operating as an expediter, the...

As a rule of thumb, a team in a typically operated D truck, leased to a nationwide expedite carrier, can expect to gross 2/3 more money to the truck than a solo in the same truck.

Dimensional lumber is measured in 1/4's so you probably have 4/4 or 5/4 wood. This can be obtained from most lumber supply places. Home Depot or Lowes typically dont stock this but can get it. If you just have a small piece, they sell oak 5/4 stair treads. You shouldn't have to sand or plane...

DannyD: You've pretty much described an average day on the road. I like your speed bump theory, but I'd hate to be the one in an ambulance that needed to over those bumps. Conjures up a good image!

Sure, we have a respected EO Republican member who's married to his co-driving Democrat wife. They get along because he recognizes you can't get a hard-headed liberal to agree with common sense ideas, so he sez, "yes,dear" a lot, to keep harmony in the truck. The moral being, seperate business...

Abe's experience and post is a good example of why we say expediting is not for everyone. As with most endeavors in life, success requires a fair amount of passion; this is particularly true in expediting. We hear from many folks who were not successful because the same passion for this...
